It’s no surprise that there’s a lead designer on the case, but Blizzard has always stressed that a console version of the game has not officially been announced.

While it doesn’t constitute an official announcement, the confirmation appears to suggest that Diablo 3 will arrive on consoles in one form or another, while Diablo 3 game director Jay Wilson recently confirmed “Asia is not what’s holding us back. You’ll see soon enough.” Is a console announcement incoming?

Diablo 3’s cash-money auction house could prove a substantial stumbling block to a faithful console version, but Blizzard could be looking at a work-around.
